The part could be  made but to do it correctly and 'mesh' with other moving parts you really need to have the whole movement. This should be fully overhauled from my experience as by now other parts will have worn and probably need re bushing, all brass and steel work burnished. At present my business is in Surrey but we have just purchase a property in South Normandy and in the throws of moving my home and workshops, hoping to complete by April-May 2008.  All my clients want me to continue looking after their clocks etc. so will be  going back and forth every 6-8 weeks.  You can buy some parts but any clock with some age will be almost hand made so 'stock' would not really fit. If you would like to send some pictures to me I may be able to advise. Regards Alan     Report
